Testimonials

Don't take out word for it! Here is what our students say: 

"Most enjoyed looking at reflexes and impact on children. Exercises can be taught to children/carers. Very interesting both for children, but also looking at my own reflexes’.er"
- Nithi Unadiat – Adoption Support Worker -

"Gill Tree's Adoption Support course on Building Resilience was just what I needed. The workbook and exercises made you think about stress and how you handle it. The Stress course was both interesting and useful. It felt like Gill was interested in me, it was almost like having her in my living room! I was able to go through the course at my own speed and access it as and when I needed and wanted to! It is something I probably need to revisit after some time and I would be keen to use this type of format again now I know it works so well! Thank you Gill""

"That was fab. Thank you so much for doing this. I really benefited from being reminded of the connection between our adoption stress and our children's reactions."
- Caroline -

"I found it very interesting and useful to reflect on how I respond to stress and what little changes could help with that. It has made me think that rather than focusing on what stresses my children, I also need to be aware of my own triggers. In recognising how hard it can be to inhibit my own behaviour, I feel/hope I might be more empathetic to my son."
- Katy Liriano -

"This course is very informative. Will definitely be using some of the exercise with my carers. This training was very interesting. It gave me a wider understand of how trauma can affect the children in our care"
- Shauna Grant – Social Worker -

"I found the whole experience very calming and therapeutic and the course totally exceeded my expectations"
- Gill Maddison -

"Gill’s workshop was really helpful, instructive and entertaining. Our adopters went away with lots of practical ideas for helping their children and are already seeing a difference.”Many thanks- we look forward to seeing you again later in the year with another group!"
